Welcome to Dell technologies connect Cisco M DS break fix series interface. No shutdown command does not show in the running config after N XOs upgrade 8.41 and 8.41 A reference Dell Knowledge Base article number 77853 This video was created to explain why interface no shutdown command does not show in the running config after an in service software upgrade 8.41 and 8.41 A. This video presents the following after upgrade to 8.41 or 8.41 A no shutdown command for the port channel interfaces displays in the start up config but it is not shown on the same interface in the running. Config. This causes management applications to indicate there is a difference between the port channel interfaces in the running config and start up config even though the actual port channel interface status is correct.
